Abstract :
During the one century after the theoretical prediction of the cyclotron radiation, this effect was found to contribute to many phenomena in nature and now delivers the highest powers at the shortest microwaves. The author surveys the evolution of the main ideas in this field and considers some of the devices which are based on this effect
